Blood profiling to detect peripheral inflammation following 12-week binge sucrose intake in rats. Blood profiling revealed elevated (A) white blood cells, (B) basophils, (C) lymphocytes and (D) neutrophils in rats in the sucrose-diet group as compared to the normal diet group. Increases in (E) blood monocytes and (F) eosinophils in the sucrose diet rats were not statistically significant. All values are presented as mean cell counts ± SEM (106/ml) analysed with Student’s one-tailed t-test. *p < 0.05 compared with normal diet-fed controls. All values presented are from n = 6.
